Automated testing – The future of software testing

Transformation
is the most trending word in today’s time. Almost everything is undergoing
transformation the inventions, thoughts behind it as well as the outcome. The
methods of testing are efficiently experiencing a shift in curve like the every
usual transformation from manual to automatic.

The
process of manual testing of products and software are long gone, but not
totally erased from the process. On the contrary the automated testing has
risen to great prominence in the past decade or two. There are automated
processes rising up in every sector. Since modern man is currently shifting
towards mental outlook than the physical one.

The
automated process is way more effective than the usual manual process. Not only
is the test efficient enough, but it is also very less time consuming. It
provides maximum output, which is accurate in minimum amount of time, which
isn’t possible through manual testing as it is more error prone, since humans
are bound to commit mistakes.

The
process of automation does not need human intervention, but the planning of the
process needs so. Since the process itself is a human creation. There are
various reasons due to which automated testing is our future- it is here and
here to stay for a long time.

The
selection of tools under automation testing is the primary feature of the
following as it offers the most effective tool. Every test is conducted with
some or the other kind of tool. The test tool is required to be specific; with
automated testing it has become pretty easy to define that which test selection
tool will be needed to conduct a specific test.

Unlike
manual testing, under automation not only is the scope of the testing decided
but automation as a whole process is put under assessment. In order to avoid
any mishap, various steps are taken to define the goals and scope of
automation. This is the very reason why everyone prefers an automated test over
a manual one.

Although
the manual testing is fading away slowly from the mainstream testing process it
acts as a base for the automated testing. The future is all about automated
testing, but manual testing needs to be present in somewhere as without it,
automation cannot be carried out productively.

Thus,
though the process of automation saves us time and money, it is still reliant
on manpower. Furthermore, the automated design undergoes various steps such as
planning, design and development of a software or product. Now under that,
almost each and every aspect is covered. The testers are required to just worry
about the overview and not the entire process itself as it becomes the duty of
the automated testing.

Finally,
after all the deep study of the process and its know-how the test is finally
executed. This makes the automated testing the most complete form of testing.
Although the organization spends hours on studying the process ultimately they aren’t
required to waste their time on energy on the process itself.

The
businesses are growing, dynamic these days. It is pretty much impossible for a
human mind or an organization to employ so much of
workforce to derive output. Thus, automated testing is the future – as with
each passing session, the process will only enhance and improve itself.

Hi, Great.. Tutorial is just awesome..It is really helpful for a newbie like me.. I am a regular follower of your blog. Really very informative post you shared here. Kindly keep blogging. If anyone wants to become a Java developer learn from Java Training in Chennai. or learn thru Java Online Training in India . Nowadays Java has tons of job opportunities on various vertical industry.

"The process of automation does not need human intervention, but the planning of the process needs so." - that is the soil of testing.We should test everything what is impotent in application. We also can do it smart, without testing cases which never can happend. When we creating code for automate testing, we shouldn't focuse on code as much as we focus on context of that what we will testing.

Testing makes your customer to get full satisfaction on your service since it found out all the bugs and errors and rectify it. Selenium is the best tool ever to test web based applications. Thank you for your information.
